Note:
* WORDING HAS BEEN CHANGED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEBRUARY 11, 1991 LETTER IN FILE 430.8: DO NOT WANT TO ALLOW TERMINATION OF LETTER OF CONSENT.
* After receiving "Decision Document", FHWA can, for simplicity, complete a Statement of Consideration (SOC) and send to WYDOT to facilitate their filing of a "Quit Claim Deed" or other instrument (as "Discharge of Easement") to release record of previously granted easement deed. Note that Clause 10 in deed justifies Exemption #1 under Part C of the SOC. Clause 10 had already terminated rights issued under the deed. (This is done in form letter "FEDTRN7.ROW")
